Smiling Rooney is fit for the fight and Zaha joins the big boys as Moyes shows United's stars who's boss at training

David Moyes launched a new era at Manchester United by putting the players through their paces at the club's Carrington training complex on Tuesday.

The new United boss was joined by his assistant Steve Round and he was keen to show a more hands-on approach than his predecessor Sir Alex Ferguson, who was happy for Mike Phelan and Rene Meulensteen to organise the coaching.

Wantaway Wayne Rooney, new signing
Wilfried Zaha and player-coach Ryan Giggs were among the those who took
part in pre-season training.

Good start: Zaha posted this picture on Instagram

Zaha was keen to make a good impression amid reports he could be sent out on loan to gain experience after joining for £15million from Crystal Palace.

And the 20-year-old winger felt he had made a positive start by posting a picture of himself in United training kit and tweeting: 'Great first day #MUFC.'

Though his reputation is of being an
organised coach who does not pay much attention to the frilly side of
the game, Moyes accepts the traditions he is being asked to uphold.

'I am at a club where the word success is tattooed right across the badge,' he said.

'I want us to play the same way, with the same traditions of entertaining, exciting football.

'But I've always said the biggest thing in football is to win. I would always put winning at the top of the list and Sir Alex would as well.'
